Network visualization and academic storytelling

Résumé:

Network science is a rapidly growing multidisciplinary area that allows us to understand the dynamics of interconnected systems: social, digital, physical, biological, economic, political, and others. This talk will cover ideas related to communicating network research, visualizing network data, and presenting relational information to academic audiences. The discussion will touch on general principles of information visualization, as well as specific ideas related to the visual representation of network structure and properties. The session will also include a few hands-on network visualization examples using R (more detailed R tutorials are available here).
